3. Nature of the service — important disclaimer
JioAstro provides astrological, spiritual and devotional content for guidance, reflection and entertainment. Astrology is a belief-based practice and is not a science. Content generated or displayed by the App — including birth-chart readings, predictions, compatibility insights, remedies and chat responses — is provided on an "as is" basis for personal, non-professional use only.
- The App does not constitute, and must not be treated as, medical, psychological, legal, financial, investment or professional advice of any kind;
- The App does not diagnose, treat or predict illness, death, or any medical or life-threatening outcome, and will not knowingly provide such content;
- The App should never be used as a substitute for advice from a qualified doctor, lawyer, financial adviser or other professional.
Always seek the advice of an appropriately qualified professional for any medical, legal, financial or other significant matter. If you are experiencing a health or mental-health emergency, contact a licensed medical professional or your local emergency services immediately.
4. AI-generated content
- Parts of the App use artificial-intelligence models to generate conversational responses and personalised content. AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete or misleading, and may not reflect real events or your actual circumstances.
- You are responsible for how you interpret and act on any AI-generated content. We do not warrant the accuracy, reliability or suitability of such content for any purpose.
- You must not use the AI features to seek or generate content that is unlawful, harmful, hateful, sexually explicit, defamatory, or that solicits medical, legal or financial decisions.

The pricing, plans and billing terms are placeholders to be finalised before public release.
10. Third-party services
The App may rely on or link to third-party services (for example Google Play services, analytics, hosting and AI providers). Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services or content, and their inclusion does not imply our endorsement.
11. Beta / prototype disclaimer and "as is" basis
The App is provided strictly on an "as is" and "as available" basis for testing purposes. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that content will be accurate or reliable. You use the App at your own risk.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we and our affiliates, officers, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of data, revenue, profits, goodwill or business, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the App or reliance on any content, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
